Easter Break

Hey Yall! Sorry for my negligence. This Easter was a very different Easter from all the rest. For one my Youth Group planned a Youth Retreat for the weekend and 2 other Youth Groups joined us. We went into the mountains and camped at a Vacant Summer Camp. Sense my Youth Group lives only 45 minutes away we had to go and set up early. So we sledded ( In April!!!! I know!) And we played hours of cards and hung out. Then The other Youth Groups came around 7:30. We ate dinner and had out lessons. There was 8 feet of snow- super cold showers, and an awesome group of Young Christians spending time together. Here is how the Saturday Panned Out.

Breakfast- Cereal and muffins.

Devo- Garrett did an Awesome class. He did the " Mall of Questions." And it was about how life is more than just life. Life is a Journey and will never end. And how Jesus died- not for our sins- but to live through each and every one of us- He experiences everything we go through, he died for that.

Free Time- Ah glorious free time, but what do you do when their is 8 feet of snow out side? Well you hang out in the Chapel ( The boys sleep in the Chapel, and the girls had to sleep in the Lodge, the only 2 rooms wee used in the whole camp. Besides the bathroom) Me and my friend Megan played cards with Nate, Peter and Andrew. We played about an hour of Scum ( card game) and Mow ( yet another card game) Then we had a Yummy Lunch of Sandwiches. Then more card games with my Homies.

Sledding- We made an awesome hill and it was fun but I fell on my head over 4 times and went to go take a shower when I learned that we had to go snowshoeing. I hate it soo much. Don't go unless you really like to walk with funny shoes on in the snow for 2 hours. When we got back we had about 30 min. Of card playing then dinner. We had Fajitas.

Showering was a funny story and if you want to hear it then I will tell you about it.

Stations of the Cross- I LOVE THIS CLASS!!! We went into the chapel and visited thirteen station of the cross. Each station portrayed a different person and a different emotion. And at the end of Each station you said a prayer to God asking for Strength to be able to have the strength to carry our Crosses and live for Jesus Dailey. By the end I took my seat and was holding back tears because the story of Jesus was way more than a story is was an experience and I looked around and noticed a lot of Boys and Girls were crying. It was a really good experience and I will never forget that Easter.

I love rallies and Retreats with my fellow Youth Groupers here and in Idaho. God is great, and I love that.
